Puff, The Magic Obama! (Chuck Norris On The American Sophist's Nomination Performance Alert)
Worldnetdaily.com ^ | 9/1/2008 | Chuck Norris

Posted on 08/31/2008 10:11:40 PM PDT by goldstategop

Last Thursday evening at the Democratic National Convention, presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to score a political touchdown on the 50 yard line of Denver's Invesco Field stadium. Instead, he won the all-time governmental convention award for the best over-the-top political spectacle of sight, sound, speech and pyrotechnics – complete with superstar performances, Braveheart-like epic music endings and an Olympic-sized fireworks show.

For a week prior to the event, newscasters, commentators and pundits were trying to guess what exactly that Greco-Roman, column-structure was that served as a stage backdrop, and what it was supposed to be representing and stating on behalf of Obama. Hypotheses were strewn across the news and the Internet. Despite that Obama's camp suggested these Athenian pillars were merely representative of the history of democracy, the entire visual felt more like a temple than a tenured politician's presidential platform. ....

When a political convention turns into a Super Bowl half time show, Democrats should be crying out in disgust, but they're not. Instead, they and others are praising Obama and the entire extravaganza, labeling it a monumental moment in history. But, with giant Trinitrons broadcasting his image from the flanks of the stage and the tops of the stadium, I felt like he was running more for emperor of the world than president of the United States. Liberal media was even questioning if it wasn't over the top. Similarities can be drawn between J.F.K. addressing the DNC at the L.A. Coliseum or Martin Luther King Jr. standing before the Greek pillars at the Lincoln Memorial, but neither Kennedy nor King rebuilt the Parthenon for their presentation. Is this the simple, substance-oriented, budget-cutting Obama we can expect as a President?

Puff, the magic Obama! Well, there was a certain kind of windbag in ancient Greece Plato called the "sophist." 2,500 years later and nothing much has changed. People are still taken in by empty rhetoric devoid of real substance and truth!

According to his bio, he had a government office moved because it was inconvenient for the workers to get there. I think that’s the extent of his good work.

Between Ayers and Obama they managed to shove $100 million dollars down the rat hole of Chicagos school system and the reports on it are dismal to say the least.

Yup, obama's followers believe only in the shadows that they see on the cave wall. Y'all need to be familiar with Plato's Republic to know what I mean.

The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed misserably.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.

Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.

There are no steroids in baseball. Just players Chuck Norris has breathed on.

When Chuck Norris falls in water, Chuck Norris doesn’t get wet. Water gets Chuck Norris.

When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.

Let's not forget this brave patriot Allan Keyes who dared to run against the Obamanation and his corrupt alliances in Chicago for the Il. senate. Keyes got trounced and the media beat him up but Keyes saw right through this phony.

Chuck Norris is without a doubt the best political columnist who ever lived.

I was thinking that he was in the top 2 or 3 best columnists that ever lived while reading it, but a fist came through my computer screen and punched me right in the face.

That Obamapalooza coronation needs to be studied. Americans don't need to take moral lectures from an emperor who approved of infanticide. Someone needs to point that out during his next sermon.

Can you imagine the carbon footprint created by this spectacle? Funny the media didn't mention it!
